Actually,  with the release tarballs you don't do bootstrap.sh (unless  
I am mistaken).

I have been building FreeSWITCH on OSX for quite a while (over a  
year), with good results.  I have NOT had any luck building from the  
SVN, as it seems to throw weird errors on my problems on my platform  
of choice (PPC OSX Tiger), but the released tarballs seem to work ok  
(even the pre-release tarballs).

I also think that making an OSX package of freeswitch sounds nice,   
but is a bad idea, UNLESS it's set up in an automated fashion that can  
stay up to date with changes.  Otherwise, lazy OSX people get stuck  
installing an artifact rather then the best available FreeSWITCH. This  
happened with Asterisk with the Sunrise telecom people.  They ended up  
creating more problems then good as even years after the fact, silly  
mac people where still installing the OLD compromised, buggy version  
just because it was in an OSX installer...

Hope this Helps,
Marty
